Correlation analysis of the COMOT-15 scales versus PTA (air conduction) at baseline and 6 months after surgery
| PTA baseline | PTA 6 months | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Scales of COMOT-15 | r | p-value | r | p-value |
| OS | 0.24 | 0.02 | 0.36 | 0.0005 |
| ES | -0.03 | 0.76 | 0.09 | 0.38 |
| HF | 0.43 | < 0.0001 | 0.44 | < 0.0001 |
| MH | 0.31 | 0.003 | 0.41 | < 0.0001 |
PTA = pure tone average, calculated from air conduction hearing loss [dB] at 500 Hz, 1, 2 and 4 kHz (n = 90); r = Pearson's correlation coefficient. OS = Overall Score, ES = ear symptoms, HF = hearing function, MH = mental health.
